Chorus
Far away in the regions of darkness, where no ray of light ever enters, there is a country, [1485] where men sit at the table of the heroes and dwell with them always —except in the evening. [1490] Should any mortal meet the hero Orestes at night, he would soon be stripped and covered with blows from head to foot.
